Description

We propose a new construction for low-density source codes with multiple parameters that can be tuned to optimize the performance of the code. In addition, we introduce a set of analysis techniques for deriving upper bounds for the expected distortion of our construction, as well as more general low-density constructions. We show that (with an optimal encoding algorithm) our codes achieve the rate-distortion bound for a binary symmetric source and Hamming distortion. Our methods also provide rigorous upper bounds on the minimum distortion achievable by previously proposed low-density constructions.
